  • Please Note: This trip is a pilgrimage, not a vacation. While we will have a superb time enjoying Italian culture and sights, our primary purpose is to enjoy the beauty and depth of our Catholic Faith. Some mornings we will depart our hotel early(e.g. 8:00 am) to accommodate tour schedules. There is a good amount of walking required and frequent use of steps. Anyone unable to walk at least two miles per day is not qualified to make this pilgrimage. Good broken in walking shoes(not new shoes and not sneakers) are a must. Pilgrims should not have any serious health issues. Minimum age is 18. The trip is limited to a maximum of 30 pilgrims. Pilgrims need not be Catholic. Attendance at scheduled Masses is required of all.
